The portion below the navel is the lower vital,– in your case it has become very sensitive to the condition of the same part in others or perhaps even to their general condition – so that it gives a sort of reflection or an appropriate reaction to that. It is a phase in the development that must be overpassed, because 


the lower vital must get a perfect peace in it and even if it feels the condition of others do it as an act of perception or knowledge without any reaction or reflection.
